Whether it is Borussia Dortmund's famous 'Yellow Wall' or the displays at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena, Germany has long perfected the art of the tifo. But second division side VfL Osnabruck have surely topped anything previously seen by creating a tifo featuring a rollercoaster.

Showcased before their 4-1 German Cup first-round defeat by Bayern Munich on Wednesday, the tifo displayed the words 'VfL Osnabruck – a rollercoaster ride!' and a wooden cart that went along the track at the Bremer Brucke stadium. Osnabruck said the tifo symbolised its turbulent club history.

After "several months" of planning and building, the display featured major triumphs like a 1978 victory over Bayern and a number of "scandals and bitter defeats". The rollercoaster structure was built from wooden slats, plastic piping, fabric, and designed to roll out in sections. The cart carried dummies and passed a "photo station" where a flash went off and the "photo" instantly appeared on the grandstand.

Fans recorded a special 'Funpark Bremer Brucke' song before the match. The tifo was taken down just before kick-off, but Osnabruck took a shock 1-0 lead after five minutes. Bayern relied on two goals from Harry Kane, plus goals from Tom Bischof and Michael Olise to reach the second round.
